To the rigorous mind
Life’s a battle to be won 
To the tender heart 
An enthralling journey.  


Scheming and plotting 
For the devious mind. 
Owning and gathering
To the frugal kind


Legacies are only 
Obituaries few 
A picture on the wall
Mention in the news. 


Flow with the time 
Embrace everyone 
And Tenderly touch
Before you’re done.
